Western blot analyses of synaptophysin and VGLUT1 expressions in the striatum. A, B are synaptophysin and VGLUT1 respectively. In each panel, representative immunoblots are shown at the top while the histograms of the corresponding analyses at the bottom. The expression of the GAPDH is the internal gel-loading control. Expression of each protein was normalized to that of the GAPDH and presented as a ratio to that of the age-matched sham-operated control animals. Con, control; Hydro, hydrocephalus; VGLUT1, vesicular glutamate transporter 1; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001 between the marked and its age-matched controls, n = 5–10 rats per group
